Hello all. I hope we can put in a steady and convincing performance as we embark on the last run of games. Want to go up as worthy and deserving champions. Let's do it Leeds United!



Leeds United's highly anticipated return to Sky Bet Championship action will get under way on Sunday, with a trip to Wales to take on Cardiff City (12:00pm).* The game against Cardiff will be the first of the nine games remaining as Leeds look to secure promotion back to the Premier League.* Prior to the postponement of the league, the Whites were in fine form, having won five games in a row without conceding a goal, which took Marcelo Bielsa's side to the summit of the table.* Cardiff currently sit two points outside of the Championship Play-Off places and will be hoping to mount a charge for a top six spot in the remaining matches.* The Bluebirds have risen up the table since Neil Harris' arrival in November, losing just five of his 25 matches in charge.**

The key battle

Lee Tomlin v Liam Cooper

Forward Tomlin's Cardiff City had been stop-start up until this season.* He joined Cardiff originally in 2017 from Bristol City, but prior to the campaign had made just 16 appearances for the Bluebirds, spending time on loan at Nottingham Forest and Peterborough United.* This season, he has thrived, particularly since the arrival of Harris as manager, netting seven goals and providing seven assists.* If Cardiff are to be successful against Leeds, Tomlin is likely to be one of the main threats and Whites skipper Liam Cooper in the heart of the Leeds defence will be looking to keep him quiet.
